Hi, all,

recently I am checking energy conservation of the program sander and
pmemd. I use the topology and restart file in amber9/benchmark/jac. I
turned off the temperature and pressure coupling. Shake is also turned
off. But I found the total energy of the isolated system drops gradually.
Who can help me to explain why this happened?

the following is the input file I used:
 &cntrl
   ntx=7, irest=1,
   ntc=1, ntf=1, tol=0.0000001,
   nstlim=25000,
   ntpr=1, ntwr=10000,
   dt=0.0005, vlimit=0.0,
   cut=9.,
   ntt=0, temp0=300.,
 /
 &ewald
  nfft1=64,nfft2=64,nfft3=64,
  skinnb=2.,
